Chapter 2772: Even a Nobody Dares to Speak Up? Fatty Has Become a Public Enemy?!
It's just that Zhang Lin really did have some of this helplessness too, and at the same time Fatty's actions were truly too enraging—meaning it wasn't only Zhang Lin who thought Fatty had done something wrong, everyone felt Fatty's actions were problematic.
Since that's the case, Fatty should have seen clearly the situation he was in, broadened his outlook, and then submitted to what Wu Ya was currently saying—going down to scout the path first thing would have been perfectly fine, absolutely not sitting here thinking about all this nonsensical nonsense, because doing so would only lead them further and further off course, drifting farther and farther from the correct answer.
Once this track deviates, everyone knows what will happen—even Zhang Lin would no longer pay them any mind.
Just at this moment, among the crowd, someone finally couldn't hold back any longer and shouted loudly: "Fatty, you can't be so selfish—this is Mr. Zhang's order, on what grounds are you defying it!"
This person was a researcher brought along by Archaeology Team One, the kind of minor, invisible role, but Wu Ya greatly approved of them being able to voice such words—after all, she herself had once been that kind of invisible nobody, and Wu Ya did a bit of perspective-taking in her heart.
She thought to herself that this time, if she were still standing here as that former invisible nobody, under that premise, she wouldn't have dared to step forward, and would only have submitted to whatever the current person in power said, then continued moving forward.
In other words, no matter what Zhang Lin said or what Fatty said, as long as everyone finally united on a single opinion, they could continue moving forward—this is the survival rule of small fry.
But precisely at a critical moment, having a small fry step forward to say a fair word is truly difficult, because it might very well invite endless wrath and bring crisis upon themselves.
Although Archaeology Team One represents the official side, and Fatty certainly wouldn't take things to such an extreme, who knows what will happen later inside the tomb, and what kind of choice Fatty will make.
All of these things are entirely unknown—no one is clear on them, and no one can offer a standard answer; perhaps even Zhang Lin couldn't, and this is no joke.
Zhang Lin saw that the archaeology team had made their own choice, and originally he was quite gratified, but this wasn't the moment—when Archaeology Team One reached the point where they had to obey his orders, they turned into this again, which is also what Zhang Lin found most unacceptable, but at this moment he still quietly watched the archaeology team's livestream.
As for how things were going on Mr. Wang's side, Zhang Lin didn't seem to be in any hurry either; he felt this phone call was necessary to make back, but there was no need to be so anxious about it, because no matter how anxious he was, it was meaningless—the person who truly should be anxious right now was precisely Mr. Wang.
Under this premise, Mr. Wang had to sort out his own thoughts; he might even call back, although Zhang Lin knew that possibility was extremely small.
Because the call he had just silently let ring to disconnection had already been considered as settling everything, although it was an accident, Mr. Wang wouldn't think that way.
If Mr. Wang shamelessly called back again, it would only make him look especially cheap; Zhang Lin was very clear that everyone has a bottom line, and Mr. Wang's bottom line was preserving that last tiny shred of his own face.
Actually, this point was entirely understandable—after all, before this Mr. Wang had already paid so much; he had made everyone clear exactly what kind of state the Wang family was in, and Zhang Lin was able to gather the Wang family in—under such circumstances, they had to perform well, the more proactive the better.
Facts proved that Mr. Wang had indeed done exactly this, only that reality and ideals ultimately still developed a certain deviation; based on this point, Mr. Wang also unconsciously became blindly obedient.
And regarding this kind of blind obedience, Mr. Wang was very clear that the last tiny bit of face he had left absolutely could not be lost again—if losing face could exchange for certain benefits, or make Zhang Lin change his mind, then Mr. Wang would certainly spare no cost.
But now things ultimately weren't like that; no matter how precious he considered what he had thrown away to be, Zhang Lin would certainly regard it as worthless, not even willing to take a second look—in Mr. Wang's view, this was the greatest sorrow; since that was the case, he certainly wouldn't make this kind of choice again.
And looking back at the cruise ship now, Mr. Wang seemed to have already made his final decision, and at this moment his subordinates also wanted to find a topic to quickly change the subject.
He suddenly heard his phone's notification, then directly opened it and entered Archaeology Team One's livestream screen—thinking it was another official push advertisement, he didn't expect that this time the nature had completely changed.
Because the situation of Archaeology Team One had become even more tense—if before it was only a state of confrontation, at most a verbal clash, anyone who wasn't a fool could see it, but now things had undergone a fundamental change.
This trusted subordinate, seeing Archaeology Team One's livestream through the screen at this moment, felt a chill to the bone, because the atmosphere had already dropped to freezing point—if it continued like this, the next second they would definitely start fighting directly.
At this moment he had already forgotten all those things Mr. Wang had said before, wholly focused on what could have happened to create this kind of state—this completely didn't conform to logic; no matter from what kind of situation or at what kind of time point, they all sincerely envied the archaeology team.
Because essentially the archaeology team could get Zhang Lin's instructions at any moment; under such circumstances, they could squander everything at will—even if they truly fell into danger, Zhang Lin couldn't possibly leave them to face such a blessing alone.
Quite a few Wang family members felt that if it were themselves, they would certainly cherish it one hundred percent, because even within the Wang family they didn't have such treatment.
But watching Archaeology Team One now seemingly about to throw down in a big way, their confusion was completely normal—any person would show this kind of state, without a single bit of deviation.
Even the Wang family people were like this, let alone those watching the livestream—they were now so shocked their jaws dropped, because this tense atmosphere was obvious at a glance.
No explanation from others was needed; anyone who couldn't see it must be on the weak side—precisely because of this, they even forgot to hit their keyboards to send bullet comments discussing the matter.
Perhaps from their perspective, the focus of this matter itself was different—within their logical scope, there had never been any such thing as the archaeology team having an internal conflict.
Even if it really did break out, it would only be minor scuffles among the lower ranks; the core members would always control the rhythm of everything, not letting reality deviate—this was the response they should have had.
